You cannot step twice into the same river, can you? Austria and its "Guest Workers" in the Periods of 1961-1974 and 2002-2011
Kavan, Ondřej ; Dimitrov, Michal (advisor) ; Konrád, Ota (referee)
In the beginning of 1960s, as a result of the "economic miracle," Austria had to face an increasing labour shortage that threatened the so appreciated economic growth. The problem was solved by means of a regulated labour migration programme based on the so- called rotation principle. The programme aimed to ensure foreign workers' role as a flexible labour force for times of economic boom while securing their return back to their homelands in times of economic downturn. After the programme was abruptly ended in 1974, a majority of "guest workers" instead of returning home settled down in Austria. This however undermined the core idea of the programme and it became dysfunctional. The "Gastarbeiter programme", which represented a policy of immigration without integration, thus became a highly controversial topic. In spite of that fact, a similar policy for seasonal workers was implemented in Austria between 2002 and 2011. The main goal of the thesis is to analyse both the periods, ascertain whether these represent comparable phenomena and explore the transfer of historical experience. Due to the diachronic relation of the two periods, significant attention is paid to the contexts within which both the policies have been implemented. For that reason, the thesis offers an in-depth discussion of...

The analytical section examines the meaning or benefit of the recruitment and presence of the foreign workers. However, there were not only positive aspects connected as was awaited at the beginning of the recruitment especially in the economic sphere.

Analysis of immigration policy in Switzerland
Kubák, Adam ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Šimíček, Petr (referee)
Bachelor thesis dealing with immigration policies in Switzerland. The aim is to analyse the evolution of migration in Switzerland so that we can better understand current events, especially the important referendum from February 9, 2014. This referendum approved the renewal of restrictions against foreigners in Switzerland. This paper answers the question of how the structure of foreigners evolved and how the increase in migration affected unemployment of the domestic population. It was found that the results of this referendum are quite significant for the relationship between Switzerland and the EU; it could result in the termination of some bilateral agreements. Also, it was found that the immigrants do not increase the unemployment rate of Swiss citizens. During an economic crisis, the unemployment rate of immigrants will rise first. As for the composition of the foreign population, 1990 was an important year because the three circle model was introduced. This model supported the influx of the skilled workforce. Thesis contributes to provide a comprehensive picture of migration in Switzerland combined with an analysis of the potential impacts of the referendum on restrictions of foreigners into the country.

Modern multicultural Austria
SCHUSSNIX, Bianka
This bachelor thesis concerns the multicultural society in the modern Austria, but it will also analyse the past, where everything have started. The thesis is divided into 4 main parts. The first part provides the generally known facts surrounding the topic. The second part will focus on the immigrants who settled in the last centuries on the Austrian territory. The last two chapters outline the primary segment of my work. It offers a deeper view on the immigrants from Arabic countries who profess Islam and on the term "Gastarbeiter". It overviews mainly Islam and all it is connections, which dominated in the recent years as the most debated topic in the German speaking society. Furthermore it will try to explain the fact, how did and how does it still affect Austrian 4 residents and whether the German language will still be the domineering language in the future in Austria. It revises how Austrians look upon the Muslim society which becomes more and more radicalized and avow to the so called "Gotteskrieger"- the prejudice, misunderstanding and the controversial issues on integration and assimilation - will be taken into consideration.
